HOW TO USE THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

To mount the elliptical exerciser, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor and step onto the pedal that is in the low-

est position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Push the

pedals until they begin to move with a continuous

motion. Note: The pedal disks can turn in either

direction. It is recommended that you move the

pedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow

below; however, for variety, you can turn the pedal

disks in the opposite direction.

To dismount the elliptical exerciser, wait until the ped-

als come to a complete stop. Note: The elliptical

exerciser does not have a free wheel; the pedals

will continue to move until the flywheel stops.

When the pedals are stationary, step off the highest

pedal first. Then, step offthe lowest pedal.

HOW TO USE THE HANDLEBARS

The handlebars are

designed to add

upper-body exer-

cise to your work-

outs. Push and pull

the handlebars as

you exercise to

work your arms,

shoulders, and

back.

To exercise only your lower body, hold the handgrip

pulse sensor as you exercise.

HOW TO ADJUST THE STRIDE OF THE ELLIPTICAL

EXERCISER

To adjust the stride of the elliptical exerciser, first pull

one of the adjustment knobs until the adjustment

bracket can be pivoted freely. Then, pivot the adjust-

ment bracket until the adjustment knob is aligned with

either of the two holes in the crank arm, and gently

release the knob. Pivot the adjustment bracket back

and forth slightly to make sure that the adjustment pin

is engaged in one of the holes. Adjust the other side of

the elliptical exerciser in the same way.
